women over the men is greatest in the
professional and upper middle
classes. Among the richer ariStoc-
racy of England, and the alb
solutely working people, the sexes are
still equal i'll number, and women can
still marry. But the sons of clergymen,
officers, civil servants, lawyers, doctors
and some of the country gentry, find the
struggle for existence too great in this
country by joining the military or naval
service. Their sisters all remain at
home, unable to find husbands, and I'M
educated for work, even domestic work.
These ''superfuOus women" most un-
the first acs s Of tS UHy' sees sia
of being charming; they are
often handsome, are generally
well hammered and well dressed. They
are "charmers." but there is no one to
charm. They know very we'll that their
chances OF marriage are almost nil;
therefore, should a solitary sutton,
with even modest competency, APP
pear, they feel driven to ask the first
man who asks them, whether they care
fSr him or not, and most gener-
ally they do not. Their parents wish
to get rid of them, so they marry with
out love. An evil arises out of this,
more CHASTITY than can be described.
The marriage of covenance is recog-
niZed social institution abroad. In Eng
land, in this nineteenth century, the
women of the upper middle classes
adopt it without acknowledging it,
However we may affect to deny it, there
is vast amount of married unhappi-
ness in all classes. The fault is
sometimes ascribed to the present
degeneracy of women and some
times to the deterioration of the men.
The fault really lies in our social Sys-
TEN, which gives woman neither work
nor money, and Obliges her to sell her
self before she has lost her only salable
cOmmOdities-youth and beauty. As
there exists four ''superfuous women"
to one man, the female has no choice,
| while the lordly male has the greater
number from whom to pick and choose.

the brass buttons so much worn by our
grandfatherS. When Capt. Cuthbert of
the guards and Lord Lonsdale fought in
1892. two shots were fired by each with
out injury to either; but Lord LOnsdale'S
last shot would probably have been fatal
if the bullet had not struck button ON
Capt. Cuthbert's coat.
An even more wonderful affair hap
pened in 1871, when a French officer
having said in an ungarded moment
''that the English army had more phlegm
than spirit" he was soon afterward
challenged by an English officer, Capt.
s., of the Eleventh regiment of
foot, for having made use of these
words. AS the Chevalier la B re-
fused either to apologize for or to with
draw the expression duel took place;
and the OffenSe was considered by the
Briton to be of so deadly kind-Or,
rather, one which nothing but the death
of the utterer could eXtenuate-that he
insisted upon fighting at five PAGES. If
the two arms and the two pistols are
taken into account, this short distance
was, of course, much reduced, so that
apparently neither had chance Of
escaping. Seemingly they had tossed
which the Englishman won, and
Capt. SIS ball 'took place." as
might be expected, on the chevalier's
breast, but, by marvel of buck, it was
stopped by metal button. The chev-
alier, touched by so providential an es-
cape, magnanimously fired in the air,
and did not stop at that, but made full
apology by stating that the English have
both spirit and phlegm.
We read elsewhere of another dueliSt
picking up on his way to the place of
he placed inside his coat, over his heart,
and the bullet happening to strike there
the horseshoe saved his life. Gen. Ben
nett in his duel with Gen. Ornani, in
Paris in 1914, owed his life to having a
1OO-franc piece in his waistcOat pocket.

MINNEAPOLIS NEWS.
PUT IN THE PITCH.
A Citizen Who Wants the Paving
Done Properly.
To the Editor of the Globe

To the Editor of the Globe.
l desire to say word respecting the
ceilar-block pavement now being laid in
Minneapolis, of which there is six or
nine miles to be put down this season.
The work was advertised for bids last
fall, but all bids were annulled on the
ground that the work should be per-
formed by the city by day work. That
plan has been abandoned, as it is ap-
parent that work of this nature muStSOf
necessity be performed under contract.
Blocks, lumber, gravel and cement are
not the product of day labor for the city
to pay for, short Of establishing camps
ming gas works, etc. Only 10 or u per
cent of the cost of the pavement is in
CURED for common labor.
The bids of last fall for this work con-
templated the use of cement on the
blocks, after tamping the interSticeS
with gravel. Over this boiling pitch, or
tar, gravel is spread, and, coming in
contact with the pitch, is held firmly in
place until ground into the head of the
cedar block, which is understood to be
seven inches in length, with a surface
OF six to twelve inches. Vehicles pass
ing along and over the pavement brushes
the gravel and pitch into the head
of the block, giving an impervious
surface resisting moisture, and conSe-
quent greater durability.
1t appears that the contract now in
force for this pavement Omits altogether
the pitch. This, think is great mis-
take. | do not wish to arraign the wis
dom of the paving committee, or enter
into any argument on this question.
My conviction is that owners of property
abutting the work ought to join at once
i'll consultation and examine this matter
thoroughly. In the opinion of some the
pavement in five or six years will go
to decay. Men are ready to put up
money that the work on Second avenue
south, where pitch was used, will, by
years, OutlaSt the pavement as now
being put down, although built in the
early part of 1885. Without pitch the
rain alone will cut the ground, as no
tamping can hold it up, even with the
block. The wind alone will whip it out
and expose holes for water to enter. A
sharp shower on the pavement, after
gravel has been spread, and before en-
tered upon by teams, will nearly float
the blocks.
This is an important question, and, as
a general taxpayer, | have no excuse to
make i'll calling public attention to this
matter. Mr.. Editor, your general fair
ness towards Minneapolis interests in
duceS me to ask you to give this notice a
place i'll your paper. Very truly,
OMEGA.

THE LAST OF THE SERIES.
A Splendid Request Concert by
the DAM Orchestra.

AS was to be expected, Harmonic hall
was filled with patrons of the DAM or
cheStra, who divided their attention be-
tween the music and the excessive heat.
The hall was veritable sweat box and
the people must have wished, despite
the excellent music given, that they
were at home or in the parks. The work
of the orchestra suffered somewhat
from the hot atmosphere, for no
men could be expected to do
superior playing under such distressing
circumstances. The programme was
brilliant one, and it being the last con-
cert of the season, Conductor DAM had
added two numbers. The favorites with
the audience were the march from
Lenore, symphony by Raft, "Traeu-
merei,p "Tannhaeuser," "Lohengren,"
Gounod's Funeral March of Marion
cite" and GrOSSmann's "CzardaS." Of
these the exquisite beauty of Schu-
mannS "Traeumerei" appealed eS-
pecially to music lovers, and it received
hearty encore. The concert as
whole was a pronounced success. Not
even the heat was sufficient cause to
materially disturb Conductor DAM and
his players, for whom many compli-
mentS were heard as the audience dis
perScd. There has never been given i'll
this city series of concerts that for
popularity and the high character of the
music rendered can compare with that
which yesterdays entertainment closed
Conductor DAM deserves a full mead of
praise for the success he has attained.

The Picture Killed Her.

Nineteenth Century.
There is famous modern picture at
Moscow of John the Terrible, after he
has murdered his son in a fit of rage, and
suddenly discovers the crime he has
committed. The expression in his eyes
is that of mailman, with curious
CLEAN of horror and consciousness strik-
ing him, after his son has sunk at his
feet with the blood streaming from his
wounded temple. 1t is intensely realis-
tic, and report asserts that on one occa-
sion lady was so much affected by the
sight of it that she fell down dead on
the spot. According to tiAs tale, the
inner room and ladies not admitted in
the absence of a medical attendant. We
inspected the picture in its inner room
and without this incumbrance of the
doctor.

tess, and was painfully conscious that
every move he made could be observed
by her. Suddenly. at the hight of the
festivities, the veteran came across a
caterpillar in his salad. a furtive glance
at the hostess disclosed the fact that she
too had discovered the embarrassing
circumstance. 1t was critical moment,
but the old soldier was equal to the
occasion. Without changing muscle
he gathered up the caterpillar with a
fOrkful of the salad and swallowed both.
The look of gratitude which he received
from his hostess few minutes later
warmed the very cookies Of his heart.
In due time the story leaked out, and
when somebody asked the old cam
paigner how he liked caterpillar salad.
the reply came like hot shot: ''Do
you take me for a man who would spoil
dinner-party for little thing like
caterpillar?"

German army will be increased
from 427 900 to 46S, 900 men. AS
many as twenty-four new batteries

have been lower for several years
than those of her chief rivals in Eu-
